Here’s a vegan, guilt-free green smoothie recipe that you can make in under five minutes!

During my second semester at university, I had to deal with having little time to prepare a decent meal in the morning due to all my morning classes. Oftentimes, I ended up skipping breakfast altogether just because 7 AM classes are merciless and unforgiving. I had breakfast woes for the longest time until I decided to take up the smoothie route. Basic? Not necessarily if you get all your basic nutrients in the shortest time possible and in one go. Here’s one of the smoothie recipes I enjoyed making during my hellish semester. Enjoy!

4a. Choose: Sift matcha through sieve into bowl or take bamboo whisk or frother and gently flatten out the matcha. You want to remove clumps.

5. Pour 1 ounce (28g) cold water over matcha (This helps protect the matcha from the hot water in step 7)

6. Use your whisk in a circular motion to make a thick paste

7. After all matcha is incorporated, add 3 ounces of 165° water

8. If using bamboo whisk: whisk matcha using a "W" and "M" path up and down utilizing your wrist. If using a electric frother: place it at the bottom of the bowl and start with short pulses to make sure you don't spill any precious matcha.

9. Whisk until frothy and you have a nice white crema with small bubbles

10. It is now ready to drink! You can stir in some honey or preferred sweetener or add steamed milk for a matcha latte. You can also add more water to increase the yield (it will dilute) or can finish with cream or frothed milk.
